Profits Over People: A History of Big Pharma/Chemical/Agriculture Cover Ups

BlockchainBastards@bchainbastards (68)2370d

vax life.jpe

We have all seen the memes mocking those who question the safety of pharmaceutical products as crazy & "anti-science"

Can we really afford to trust Big Pharma & our regulatory agencies that much?

Do they have a history of putting profits over the lives of the public?

This issue is especially prevalent right now given the recent launch of the documentary

"Vaxxed II"

Which mainly focuses on the testimony of parents of children that have been permanently disabled immediately following injections.

They've been ridiculed and laughed at, why?

Well obviously because there's NO WAY Big Pharma, the CDC, and EPA could be lying about the risks associated with their products, right?

Interesting question:

Has our media, regulatory agencies & pharma ever colluded to cover up the deaths of thousands in the name of profit??

Well, the answer to that is yes.

Many, many, MANY times over YES.

In this article, we'll be covering the

Vioxx scandal
Opioid Crisis
Glyphosate Cancer coverup
Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
Pluserix/Trivirix MMR vaccine tragedy
CDC Whistleblowers

And much more.

Won't start with Vaccines because most are too far indoctrinated with the billions of dollars of propaganda produced on the subject

Let's start with a simple premise

If Big Pharma spent millions creating & advertising a drug that turned out to be dangerous, would they tell you?

![image.png]

In 1999, Pharmaceutical giant Merck releases a new painkiller product

"Vioxx"

And regardless of the fact that their initial study shows double the risk for heart problem-related death, they refuse to pull the drug from shelves for

5 FUCKING YEARS

The results are catastrophic

Despite many calls for further cardiovascular studies, Merck refuses.

It's estimated that over 20 MILLION Americans took Viox.

88,000 suffered heart attacks.

38,000 DIED

The typical Vioxx user was elderly, so it is unknown how many really died. Some estimates reach 500,000.

How could this happen in America?

How could the FDA approve this drug and leave it on the market??

How come the media didn't warn us about this and save thousands of innocent lives?

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that Pharma spends more money advertising than on R&D

This means that it is absolutely NOT in the interest of our extremely centralized 6 media companies' interest to cover anything that would threaten Pharma's bottom line.

Much like how they promote endless war for the military-industrial complex & ignore Elite pedos like Epstein.

How else did Merck manage to keep collecting their blood money for 5 years uninterrupted?

Well, mainly by creating a blacklist of any doctor that was speaking out against the risks (sound familiar?)

If you were a doctor, would you ruin your career to be a hero?

I doubt it.

"But Mr. Tang! Surely our government can still be trusted to protect us, this must be a fluke! Our system is based on incorruptible SCIENCE"

Well thats where youre wrong Mr. Strawman

To explore how the Big Pharma/Gov relationship REALLY works, lets check out the Opioid Crisis

While the media runs 24/7 stories about Measles (which has killed 1 person in the US in the last 15 years), over 47,000 US people died from Opioids in 2017 alone.

Big Pharma is currently being sued in courts around the country for it

How did they get away with it for so long?

While the answer is multi-faceted, I think it's best to start with the fact that Big Pharma spends more money lobbying congress than ANY OTHER INDUSTRY

Over $2.5 Billion over the last decade.

A great way to make sure no one in government says anything that might piss you off

HmM well, this leads us to the last leg of this criminal, colluding, blood money-sucking structure

The FDA

Surely we can trust them to provide tough/unbiased oversight of our food & drug corporations, right?

It's not like they're both run by literally the same people, RIGHT??

This concept of there being a "Revolving door" between regulatory agencies and the corporations they supposedly "regulate" is nothing new.

Essentially, while working for the FDA, the food and drug companies bid on the employees and offer them lucrative jobs after their tenure

This, of course, incentivizes the men and women of the FDA to make sure to keep big pharma and big agriculture happy, as to not jeopardize their cushy future jobs.

One of the most obvious examples of this has to do with Monsanto and their Glyphosate-based "Roundup" Pesticide

For years, international health organizations warned that the extremely harsh pesticide made by Monsanto "Round-Up" had serious health effects

The company and the FDA continued to insist nothing was wrong until in 2018 a landmark court case ruled in favor of a California man

Round-Up was found to be cancerous

Meanwhile, traces of its active agent Glyphosate can be found everywhere from baby food to Cheerios

Why were they allowed to operate for so long undisturbed?

Might have something to do with Obama appointing Monsanto's Ex-VP as head of the FDA

So let's recap:

Big Pharma: Loves blood money, will smear doctors trying to blow whistle
Congress: took $2.5B from Pharma this decade
FDA: run by future/ex-employees of those corporations they regulate
The US Public: life span dropping, more sickly than ever before.

So now that we've established the players and how the game works, we can clearly see

"scientific evidence"

and

"safety"

Are at the absolute bottom of this disgustingly corrupt cabals list of objectives.

Profit is king, and they will do anything to keep the charade going.

And now, what we've ALL been waiting for, the ultimate in taboo:

The infallible, the 1000% safe & necessary, the soon to be completely mandatory by threat of imprisonment and ex-communication from civilization itself:

Vaccines.

Brace yourselves normies, this is gonna be rough.

Here's what Im NOT saying:

all vaccines are dangerous/useless

Heres what I AM saying:

there are well documented cases of horrific damage caused by various vaccines that have been criminally covered up

We need to be honest about risks & raise the standards in the industry

Alright, so lets start by covering some basics about the industry that might surprise you:

Say a vaccine DOES happen to be harmful and causes significant damage to a child?

Is Pharma company even liable? Can they be sued as they have been for other malpractice?

Since 1988, NO

Secondly, people seem to be under the impression that there is 0 risk whatsoever associated with vaccination:

Also completely false.

In fact, there's an entire government fund set up to compensate the victims of said damage that has paid out over $4 BILLION dollars

This, of course, does not even BEGIN to describe the total possible victims of malpractice in this area.

It is especially difficult to prove direct developmental vaccine damage in court as the CDC's vaccination schedule calls for many vaccines before a child can talk.

Now, possibly the most alarming standard in the vaccine industry is the fact that the standard "double-blind placebo" testing is not required.

This means the gold standard of scientific medical testing is thrown to the wind.

This is allowed as the CDC labels vaccines biologics

What other evidence can we find that profit incentives may have encouraged an increasing risk tolerance/negligence?

Well for one, after the no liability law was passed, the number of CDC recommended vaccines EXPLODED

From 24 doses in 1983 to 72 today

The question still remains:

Has there ever been a case of a dangerous vaccine being released? And how did the Pharmaceutical industry and their bought and paid for government officials handle it?

Yes.

And horrifically. With absolutely 0 regard for the safety of children.

Let's go back to 1986, the exact same time the vaccine liability exception was being passed in the US.

Glaxo company Smith Kline releases their

"Pluserix"

MMR vaccine in Canada. In 1988 it was pulled from use as it was found to be extremely dangerous

So what happened next?

It was permanently shelved and the company punished right?

NOPE

It was promptly renamed

"Trivirix"

And was released 2 years later in Britain where it caused THE EXACT SAME HORRIFIC DAMAGE TO THE CHILDREN INJECTED

Trivirix would continue to be sold and injected into young children in Britain until 1992

But surely, the British government couldn't have known about these adverse side effects right??

Actually, thanks to a freedom of information act request, we now know for sure that THEY DID

But that's just Britain, right?

Not like the US would ever participate in something so gruesome...

Let's explore the history of the CDC and one of their most infamous projects:

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

Over the course of 40 years, the CDC allowed hundreds of Alabama black men, women and children to be infected with syphilis and refused to offer them treatment

This program was only stopped in 1972 because of a whistleblower and the following congressional investigation

Believe it or not, no significant changes to the CDCs code of ethics were made after this scandal.

Let's fast forward to another, more relevant and recent CDC study, with yet ANOTHER whistleblower

Unfortunately, THIS 2014 whistleblower has been largely ignored & smeared

In 2004 the CDC conducted a study on Merck's (remember them?) MMR vaccine

While the team claimed no link to autism, in 2014, Dr. William S. Thompson a senior epidemiologist at the CDC who co-authored the study came forward claiming they hid important information

Luckily he saved all the documentation that the team destroyed.

Below is a 2004 letter sent by Dr. Thompson to the then CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding about the team hiding evidence

In 2014, Dr. Gerberding had already been hired by Merck as their EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

Once agaim we see how the revolving door operates.

The CDC conducts favorable studies, the director is rewarded with a cushy job later

To this day, Dr. Thompson's information and testimony has been largely ignored amd his reputation destroyed

This shit is extremely painful to write about so I'm gonna wrap it up here.

In conclusion, I believe we need to be more skepital about EVERYTHING the CDC/FDA/Big Pharma tells us as they have proven time and time again to be untrustworthy

We need to raise our standards

As tempting as it is to go along with the memes and ridicule the mothers of permanently damaged children, we need to listen to them and take them seriously.

We need to carefully scrutinize every part of the vaccination process and see if theres anyway we can reduce damage risk.

We need to push for laws banning the revolving door between corporations and the regulatory agencies

We need more independent media not beholden to pharma advertising money

We need to stop electing politicians that accept huge Pharma donations

We need to take our power back.

Peace, Love, Anarchy,

I will copy some things from Reddit threads I have bookmarked about this topic.

source

Vaccines have been the driving factor in increasing life by about 80% vs. when we did not have them:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4151714/

The cons are negligible compared to the pros.

Should we talk about the potential harm done by seatbelts when telling people whether to use them or not? Or should we recognize they are overwhelmingly positive and encourage people to wear them?

source

Antivaxxers do not only harm themselves. I realize that many people have brought up “at risk populations” that are unable to get the vaccine for medical reasons, but that’s not the only reason.

More unvaccinated carriers and afflicted result in a greater likelihood that the disease mutates into a version that resists the initial vaccine. The immune system creates antibodies to specific sites on “invaders” called epitopes, if the sequence encoding those epitopes change, antibody bonding will be disrupted.

Vaccine immunity isn’t 100% even in healthy individuals. Immunity wanes with time and scheduling is based on the average person. Some individuals lose the immune memory more rapidly and would need incredibly expensive tests to know if this is the case (as a preventative measure) or be proactive enough to frequently get blood tests for specific vaccine antibodies to demonstrate maintained immunity. This group is also at risk.

source

Data on vaccine efficacy and safety is among the most transparent in medicine specifically because the medical community desperately wants to convince people like you who are skeptical but genuinely want to learn more.

Here is the CDC website on vaccine safety. There is detailed information on the risks of specific vaccines, links to safety, etc. You may not trust them, but one important thing to note is that they don’t deny that there are risks. There is a lot of discussion of side effects, most of which are minor but can be really scary, like seizures. But they do point out other risks. For example, the MMR vaccine:

Extremely rarely, a person may have a serious allergic reaction to MMR vaccine. Anyone who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to the antibiotic neomycin, or any other component of MMR vaccine, should not get the vaccine.

The medical community also doesn’t hide when a vaccine is so dangerous that it’s not worth the risk. RotaShield was approved as a vaccine against rotavirus in the ‘90s. Some infants started developing intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction, soon after getting the vaccine. After some investigations, the vaccine was withdrawn. The whole story is here

So let’s walk through that—a vaccine is released. Data emerges that there is a risk it is harming some babies. The risk was still really rare—1 or 2 additional cases for every 10,000 babies vaccinated. It was so rare that you statistically couldn’t identify it in a trial of 10,000 patients. The condition itself was treatable in almost all cases. The vaccine was withdrawn anyway.

What that translates to—the vaccine can kill people. It probably has killed people. But it is so rare that the risk is worth the benefits, especially since we can take steps to identify and mitigate the risks.

Let’s talk about efficacy. Here too you can find honest info about how effective we know vaccines to be. Take the flu vaccine—it’s incredibly variable each year how well it will work. The medical community encourages everyone to take it anyway but they don’t hide the fact that it sometimes doesn’t work that well. Here is a chart of effectiveness over the last decade of so. The vaccine makers flat out miss in some years—10% effectiveness in 2004 is terrible. But they don’t hide those facts.

So let’s look at the most common vaccines. Sure, they might cause previously unidentifiable serous harm in some cases. I can’t rule it out. But it is so rare that literally no one can make a compelling data-driven case that the problem exists, weighted against the well-proven benefits of protecting against some truly terrible diseases. If you want to claim that contrary studies are being hidden, I’ll need to see some evidence of that, and why those are hidden when lots of other “bad” news is easy to find on the CDC’s on websites.

Let’s also talk about profit motives. Vaccines are not that profitable. Maybe some of the newest ones, but generally they aren’t a huge money maker, especially not for the vast majority of doctors administering them. The standard vaccines for the American market were so unprofitable that the big concern 10’years ago was that drug companies were abandoning the market.

You know what makes a lot more money than preventing disease? Treating disease. What profit motive is there in pushing one shot for polio against a lifetime of selling expensive treatment for a paraplegic polio patient? An MMR shot is not nearly as profitable as a hospital stay for measles complications. If anything, vaccines reduce the profits of drug companies because there are fewer sick people to sell drugs to.

On a more emotional level, parenting is fucking scary. Every decision you make is simply weighing risks and benefits and hoping that you’re making the best bets possible. It is hard to watch doctors put a needle in your kid while they scream. The side effects can make you question your judgement—my youngest basically got mild measles symptoms from his MMR and was miserable for almost a week. But all the data and evidence we have available says that vaccines are worth it.

source

There is tremendous amounts of research on the risks of vaccines. The public health community is incredibly transparent about documenting those risks and making the underlying studies available.

If you click through that website, all the data is there. The WHO also has a good page here.

Take the MMR, for example. Here is the more detailed safety data on the vaccine. At the extreme, they acknowledge there is a risk of a complication involving brain swelling, because there have been three known cases, only one of which is linked with confidence to the vaccine and which happened in people who were otherwise immunocompromised. For a vaccine that has been given millions of times, three documented cases is functionally the same as zero risk.

They also identify other potential side effects—up to 1 in 40,000 children might develop an issue with blood clotting, which isn’t life threatening and is treatable with a transfusion.

Fevers are the most common side effect—both my kids get them after vaccines—and in some cases the fever is bad enough to cause seizures. Still rare, in the 1 in a few thousand range, but common enough that you may meet someone who had it happen.

In case you’re worried that doctors dismiss these side effects, the medical community has shown they will pull vaccines when problems emerge. For example, RotaShield was approved as a vaccine against rotavirus in the ‘90s. Some infants started developing intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction, soon after getting the vaccine. After some investigations, the vaccine was withdrawn. The whole story is here.

So let’s walk through that—a vaccine is released. Data emerges that there is a risk it is harming some babies. The risk was still really rare—1 or 2 additional cases for every 10,000 babies vaccinated. It was so rare that you statistically couldn’t identify it in a trial of 10,000 patients. The condition itself was treatable in almost all cases. The vaccine was withdrawn anyway.

The common theme is that the likely side effects are known, researched and, in almost all cases, not serious. When they are, the vaccine is pulled. Febrile seizures are scary as a parent, but your kid will be fine. “Proven safe” means “incredibly unlikely to cause permanent harm,” not “absolutely free from side effects.”

The most serious problems are associated with people who are allergic to the vaccines or people who are immunocompromised. These people should not get vaccines. Doctors know that and will tell patients (or their parents) in those situations not to get vaccinated.

The fact that some people can’t get vaccinated because their doctors have advised against it is why it’s so important the rest of us get vaccinated, even if it means your kid might get a fever or even have a scary seizure. It’s not just a question of deciding you don’t care if your kid gets measles. Those people depend on herd immunity to stay healthy, and parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids even though their kids would almost certainly be fine are choosing to put those other people at more risk.

Great post! Good summary of the Big Pharma corruption. Adding to the vaccine fraud is that some don’t even have the antigens of the virus they claim to be ‘vaccinating’ against...

We need to stop electing politicians that accept huge Pharma donations

one step further, we need to stop electing politicians in general and do something more productive with our time than take part in the clown show👍
